Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 250 The crime deserves death

The autumn wind is getting cooler, and the Cold Dew is slightly heavy.

"drive!"

With a cry, the horses' hooves advanced, and the clattering sound of the horses' hooves shattered the tranquility that had settled for a night in the suburbs of Beijing. A snail that was about to reach a blade of grass in the roadside grass rolled down from the blade of grass.

"drive!"

The snail that had fallen to the ground had just poked its head out of its shell, but was frightened by the noise and shrank back again.

"Master, we are almost at the capital city!" Yue Linlang pulled the reins and reminded.

"Well, are Wushang and the others all okay?" Ruan Qingqing also stopped her horse in time.

"Master Yan has already settled them properly, so there is no need to worry. But there is news that after the autumn harvest, Emperor Yunqing doubled the taxes, making the people miserable. Recently, the country of Yunqing has not been peaceful, and there have been frequent assassinations in the capital. If we go there, we may easily be imprisoned." Yue Linlang, who was dressed in men's clothes, said worriedly.

Ruan Qingqing was also dressed in men's clothes. She looked at the towering city wall with a firm gaze.

"No matter how dangerous it is, we have to go there. Because our companions are there, and the inhuman emperor is also there!"

No matter how the Mohists fight among themselves, they all have each other's backs and will never abandon their companions!

Yue Linlang was speechless, and hurriedly bowed her head and clasped her fists, "Yes!"

"When will General Zhang and others arrive?" Ruan Qingqing asked again.

"According to the walking distance, we should be there soon!"

Ruan Qingqing turned around and looked in the direction they came from. "Great! Leave the three of us here to wait for General Zhang and the others. Linlang, let's go in first!"

After the horse's hooves passed, another cloud of dust rose.

"Master, you are here!" When Carpenter Yan suddenly saw Ruan Qingqing, the cold and hard lines on his face softened.

"Uncle Yan, we are family, so don't be polite!"

Although they haven't seen each other for more than a year, Ruan Qingqing's tone is still as familiar as ever.

"Where are they? Let's go into the palace first. Uncle Yan, please hand over the finished feather arrows to Mr. Ge and General Zhang. You must also protect yourself!" Ruan Qingqing instructed.

"Ok!"

Time was urgent, so Ruan Qingqing didn't have time to chat with him and went straight into the villa.

"Old Shi, Wushang..."

When Ruan Qingqing's eyes fell on Cai Si, her expression paused, "Master Cai? Why are you here?"

Shi Lao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Aren't you going to the palace? With Cai kid leading the way, it will definitely be much smoother!"

Ruan Qingqing took a long time to come back to her senses and whispered to him, "Is this okay?"

Shi Lao immediately blew his beard and glared, "Why is it inappropriate? He accepted this job on his own initiative. Don't believe it? Go ask him!"

There is no need to ask. I know without thinking that Mr. Shi must have used some extraordinary means.

"As long as you think it's appropriate! Mr. Shi, I need your help with something." Ruan Qingqing didn't dwell on it and just called Mr. Shi away.

As he walked, Mr. Shi muttered, "You just knew you were going to send an old man like me around!"

Ruan Qingqing just found it funny, "Mr. Shi, this is not an assignment, this is a request."

"Ahem." Old Shi put his hands behind his back and straightened his neck. "You guys, without an old man like me to take charge, what will happen to our Mo Sect?"

Ruan Qingqing just smiled and said nothing, and walked out with big strides.

When Mr. Shi saw Ruan Qingqing leaving, he hurriedly trotted after her. "You little girl, don't you know that I'm old? Why don't you take care of me?"

……

After noon, Ruan Qingqing went to the palace with Chase and others. Because Chase had a badge from the imperial palace, they had no problem going all the way until they stopped in front of the imperial study.

As soon as Ruan Qingqing stood still, she heard a roar from inside, "What are you doing? You can't even collect any grain taxes!"

"Your Majesty, it's not that we are not doing anything. It's just that the 70% grain tax is too high. The people have to pay it twice a year. It's already unbearable. If we continue to force them, I'm afraid everyone will rebel."

"Excuses, all excuses! Why is it that Qingshui County is always so happy to pay grain taxes? Why can't you do the same? Doesn't this prove that you are not doing anything?"

"Your Majesty, calm down! Qingshui County is backed by the Qianlong River, so there is plenty of water. In addition, the people in the county have built a thing called a biogas digester, which produces very fertile fertilizer and is not easy to breed insects. So even if they don't have high-yield seeds, their grain production is still very high. We not only have to find water and fertilizer everywhere, but we are also plagued by insects after that, so there is nothing left!"

"Wasn't it possible to popularize water conservancy projects throughout the country ten years ago? Why are you still looking for water everywhere?"

"Your Majesty, when it was first built, it was indeed a good thing that benefited the people. But as time went on, everyone was just digging a hoe in the ditch, and I was throwing a shovel of soil into the ditch. Those water conservancy projects have long been useless."

"You! You guys! Why don't you supervise?"

"We thought that the people would maintain this good thing on their own, but who knew they would do such a stupid thing of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs?"

Murong Jinyang was almost pissed off by these idiots. He closed his eyes and took three deep breaths.

“What about the biogas digester?”

"Your Majesty, allow me to report that the biogas pool was built by Miss Ruan Qingqing from Qingshui County and her team. They dug a pool and put straw, livestock manure, and garbage from the stove into it to let it ferment. The gas generated can be used to burn firewood for cooking, and the solids inside are excellent fertilizer. Compared with ordinary fertilizer, it is less likely to breed insects in the ground, and it is clean and convenient."

Murong Jinyang pinched his brows in frustration, "Don't you know how to follow me?"

The people below said awkwardly, "Everything we did failed without exception. Not only was there no gas, but the pool became extremely smelly and could be smelled for miles around. Everyone was unanimously opposed."

"It's Ruan Qingqing again! She's really a haunting ghost! With so many people in our Yunqing country, is there no one who can do this?"

"Your Majesty, only Mozhe can try those crafts, unless we can find Mozhe!"

Murong Jinyang slammed the table and roared at them, "Get out of here!"

All the ministers knelt down in fear and fled.

Eunuch Li on the side looked at them with disdain and curled his lips, a bunch of inconsiderate people. Don't they know that the Mozhe is in Miss Ruan Qingqing's hands? Still mentioning the Mozhe here is really rubbing salt into the emperor's heart.

"Eunuch Li..." Murong Jinyang leaned back in his chair in a daze, calling out tiredly.

"Your Majesty, I'm here!" Eunuch Li stepped forward hurriedly.

"Any news from Chase?"

"Not yet."

"Do you think he can persuade Miss Ruan to come back?" Murong Jinyang asked in a low voice, staring at a certain spot with his eyes wide open.

"Of course she can! This is such a great honor the emperor has given her! If she dares to refuse, she will be ungrateful and deserves to be put to death!" Eunuch Li said angrily, raising his index finger.
